Described by Thomas Hardy as 'the best living woman poet, discovered and published by Harold Monro at the Poetry Bookshop, Charlotte Mew (1869-1928) was admired by Virginia Woolf, Siegfried Sassoon, Edith Sitwell, John Masefield, Vita Sackville-West and Ezra Pound. Gifted and original, with a voice quite different from contemporary Georgians, she was a woman of vivid and formidable personality but led a secluded life, dying tragically by her own hand at the age of 49. when you retire.when you retire. Now, for the first time, Charlotte Mew is revealed as a prose writer of exceptional quality, for her stories and essays, never before collected, have been brought together from 'The Yellow Book,' 'Temple Bar', 'The Englishwoman,' and 'New Statesman' and other publications of the day. The writing of Charlotte Mew focuses on women but profoundly illuminates the complexities of all human experience. Powerful, intense, unsentimental, yet imbued with a natural gaiety, her complete work is here brought to their audience for which she was writing decades ago.
